NFL Draft: Round 1 Recap
The 2025 NFL Draft kicked off with Miami QB Cam Ward going No. 1 overall to the Titans.

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders went unselected, but he's one of the best available players entering Round 2, along with Marshall EDGE Mike Green (No. 11 on our Big Board) and Michigan CB Will Johnson (No. 13).
